Many tall people misinterpret this word and believe that this word can be used for anyone that isn't the same height as or shorter than them. Being short means that a person or object is a shorter height then average, key word SHORTER. Just because a person is SHORTER then someone doesn't make that person SHORT. Every age group has a span of heights that are average for their age, if you are within that span that makes you average, people who are within the higher spectrum of that span seem to believe that people who are at the lower area of the span are just simply short. So if you are below that span that does infact make you short, but if you are just low on the spectrum, you are not short, you are average. Next time someone wrongfully calls you short, be sure to look up this definition, read it to them with confidence, and make fun of them for not knowing the meaning simple english words.
Leah: Haha, you're so SHORT
Brooke: Actually we are both AVERAGE. Look at this word meaning on the urban dictionary. Maybe before you go calling people names you should learn what they mean first, and save yourself from looking stupid.
